IMediaObject::Discontinuity method (mediaobj.h)

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The Discontinuity method signals a discontinuity on the specified input stream.

Syntax

HRESULT Discontinuity(
  DWORD dwInputStreamIndex
);

Parameters

dwInputStreamIndex

Zero-based index of an input stream on the DMO.

Return value

Returns an HRESULT value. Possible values include those in the following table.

Return code Description
DMO_E_INVALIDSTREAMINDEX
Invalid stream index
DMO_E_NOTACCEPTING
The DMO is not accepting input.
DMO_E_TYPE_NOT_SET
The input and output types have not been set.
S_OK
Success

Remarks

A discontinuity represents a break in the input. A discontinuity might occur because no more data is expected, the format is changing, or there is a gap in the data. After a discontinuity, the DMO does not accept further input on that stream until all pending data has been processed. The application should call the IMediaObject::ProcessOutput method until none of the streams returns the DMO_OUTPUT_DATA_BUFFERF_INCOMPLETE flag.

This method might fail if it is called before the client sets the input and output types on the DMO.

Requirements

Target Platform Windows
Header mediaobj.h (include Dmo.h)
